Target Audience

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of dermatology and oncology physicians who diagnose and manage patients with basal cell carcinoma (BCC).

Learning Objective

After completing this activity, the clinician should be able to:

• Assess current treatment options for the management of high-risk basal cell carcinoma (BCC)

Activity Description

Treatment decisions in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) are driven by estimated risk for recurrence. Although surgery is the treatment of choice for the majority of high-risk BCC, some large, deep, aggressive, or recurrent tumors can be classified as locally advanced and are best treated with systemic therapy. This Infographic activity provides detailed education on identifying high-risk BCC, the rationale for Mohs surgery, and appropriate use of local therapies. The role and place of systemic therapy is also defined, with an emphasis on the efficacy and limitations of Hedgehog pathway inhibitors (HPI) and the recent emergence of immunotherapy on the treatment landscape.

Statement of Educational Need

Current guideline-based recommendations for treating high-risk BCC, including lesions not amenable to surgery or radiation.

Target Audience

The intended audience for this activity is dermatologists, dermatology nurse practitioners, dermatology physician assistants, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with psoriasis.

Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of the activity, participants should be better able to: 

• Review the pathophysiology and comorbidities associated with psoriasis.
• Apply current guideline-directed recommendations to the management of patients with psoriasis.
• Incorporate the latest clinical data, including efficacy and safety of topical treatments and biologics, in therapeutic decision-making to individualize care of patients with psoriasis.
• Implement effective strategies for clinician-patient communication to address patient concerns, treatment expectations, and the importance of adherence to therapy to promote health-related quality of life for patients.

Activity Description

Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life (QoL). Unfortunately, many patients with psoriasis do not seek treatment, are undertreated, or do not adhere to traditional treatment protocols. Furthermore, patients with psoriasis are at an increased risk for other serious illnesses and depression. Clinical studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of biologic therapies in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, and these therapies have provided high degrees of disease improvement. In this CE activity, experts in the field will review the pathophysiology of psoriasis and its associated comorbidities, discuss current guideline-directed recommendations for the management of patients, and evaluate the latest clinical data regarding therapeutic decision-making to individualize care. They will also provide insight for effective strategies to enhance clinician-patient communication, address patients’ concerns, treatment expectations, and the importance of adherence to therapy to promote health-related QoL.
